Now that the Halloween trick-or-treating is done what does your family do with all that extra sugar? Eat it all in one sitting? Trade it in for candy or toys? Ration out over the next year? Get a visit from the Switch Witch, Pumpkin Fairy, or some other fictitious character who steals the candy away from your children?

Well for those who find themselves with a few extra pounds (of candy), here are a few local area businesses who will take it off your hands.
